Augustana 0, Elmhurst 0

September 14, 1986|By Ken Paskman

AUGUSTANA, NCAA Division III champions the past three years, had its 37- game victory streak -- longest active winning string in college football -- broken when host Elmhurst College tied the Vikings. Jim Heavey had two interceptions and a fumble recovery to lead an Elmhurst defense. The opener for both teams also marked the first time Augustana failed to win a College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) game since Oct. 18, 1980. In regular-season games, Augustana had won 49 consecutive games, dating back to 1980. Since then, the Vikings have lost twice, both by playoff opponents, in a total of 64 games, including the tie.
